Hehe. My character gave a try to the "hand-cleaning" thing. I'm not sure he'll pass the test but we'll see if he can get into the van. :P

Satyr, don't worry about contradicting me I'm inviting the discussion so taking an opposing view doesn't bother me in the least. I won't take it personally or feel your trying to be negative or anything. I'm feeling out what possibilities there are rather than stating a desired course of action.
Primarily I'm thinking that if we were to boost like a Hertz rent-a-van from its parking lot we could be reasonably assured of stripping it of any tracking signals. The corp couldn't afford to outfit every single vehicle with a bunch of tracking tech or any of that, it would be more expensive than just paying an insurance company. We could use a basic radio signal scanner or at worst be looking at a time delayed burst signal transmitter. Now I admit stealing a vehicle comes with all sorts of additional intanglements. We'd have to be really careful to leave no forensic evidence in the vehicle which would be almost impossible, or we'd have to reduce the vehicle to vulcanized ashes. We might have additional people looking for us, although I'm not terrified by Hertz Rentals, and have an increased security risk. However, if we rent a ride from a fixer he's more likely to be able to find us if we trash his ride, since he knows who we are and is likely to have better street connections. Unless you really trust your fixer we'll have to be careful as to what kinds of forensic evidence we leave in the vehicle, and we can't just trash it when we're done. Both options have pros and cons, I thought I'd just add another option to the table. |

thats cool man i wasn't trying to be negative or stand offish i was just trying to explain the mind set of how my runner thinks i guess, he used to be part of the wildcats so he isn't used to boosting car and grand theft auto with such. Zion just wants a guaranteed ride that would be clean with no attachments if we are stopped by lonestar or any other security agency.
your right too that both have pro's and con's, either one would be a great idea. im a pretty easy going guy in RL, i just want to chill and have a great gaming experience. |

No prob Satyr.
I'll tell you though, my mage doesn't have any of the skills necessary to steal a car, so I won't be the one doing it. I have a control thoughts spell which might help moving an attendant around but other than that I'm useless for grand theft auto. I'll leave it up to the rest of the group, probably just renting a ride is easier and it'll help move the story along provided our GM makes it so. |

Hey, we're at the crime mall, there is a parking lot full of vehicles. None of the people here are likely to call the cops since when Lone Star came to take a police report the reporting party would likely be arrested. Hhmmmmmmmm. . .?
Who's our rigger? I bet he has the necessary skills. DJ, why don't you go ahead and steal a cool van, while I act as the . . . .look out. |

The Mall Monsters are policing the parking lot. IMO they're worse than the police, if you get away from the police, they'll be perfectly happy to just wait until you screw up again. The Mall Monsters might not be so easy going.

And DJ will never be allowed back into the Crime Mall.....not a good career choice. However if said vehicle is in the lot we can follow them out of the Mall and the protection of the Mall Monsters....fair game at that point.

Geessh, you people take all the fun out of being criminals. :D
Okay so stealing from the Monsters might not be such a great idea. Moving along. Does anyone know where any Mafia don's park their limos??? :) |

I know this is a little off topic, but reading it... the gang turf battles, the armed citizens... I got a feel for 2070 Puyallups.... New Orleans 2007

Yea, gotta pay attention to the time difference between posts. Since some people drive off and others stay behind, we have to keep our time in sync. |

Summoning a Force 3 Water elemental with Guard Power
Summoning + Magic Roll: 8 dice = 4 successes You can link to this roll at http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=969174 Spirit's Opposed test: 3 dice = 1 success You can link to this roll at http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=969177 Drain = 2 x Spirit's hits = DV2 Willpower + Logic: 9 dice = 2 successes no drain You can link to this roll at http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=969180 3 net hits = 3 services Binding Binding + Magic: 8 dice =3 successes You can link to this roll at http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=969187 Spirits Opposes test: Force x 2 6 dice =2 successes You can link to this roll at http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=969192 Spirit bound no additional services owed total services 3 Binding Drain = 2 x Spirit's hits = DV4 Willpower + Logic 9 dice = 3 successes You can link to this roll at http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=969199 All this means I've bound 1 elemental who owes me three services and suffered 1 box of stun damage. The summoning required only a complex action while the binding ritual took 3 hours so my character is occupied until approximately 01:00:00 |

I suppose that means, that I can just fetch the car without meeting him then? Or can I simply remote the car to me now? ;) Just wondering so I can make my post accordingly. :) Bye Thanee |
